Red Riding Hood by Sarah Blakely-Cartwright
For generations, the people of Daggorhorn have been plagued by the wolf. Every full moon, they leave their best animal as a sacrifice and the wolf has left them alone. That is, until Valerie’s sister is killed by the beast, the first person it has killed in 20 years. The men of the town go off to try to kill the wolf and come back thinking they’re successful. When an experienced wolf hunter comes into town, they realize this isn’t just any wolf they were dealing with - it’s a werewolf that lives among them. It could be anyone in town and it only wants one thing…..Valerie before the blood moon is over. Otherwise everyone she loves will die.
I loved this book as I have always loved the story of Little Red Riding Hood. This however, was a unique interpretation and I found the different twists it has on the classic tale quite interesting. You think you know the whole story but you don’t. The author keeps you guessing at who the wolf really is throughout the story until the very end. I recommend this book for any teenaged fairy tale fan.
